Keeping neuronal activity in check: a novel role for α-synuclein serine-129 phosphorylation in the healthy brain

Research output: Contribution to journalShort surveypeer-review

Abstract

Phosphorylation of α-synuclein protein at serine-129 (Ser129P) is a widely used marker for disease pathology in neurodegenerative disorders termed synucleinopathies. In groundbreaking work by Parra-Rivas, Madhivanan et al., Ser129P was shown to facilitate the normal function of α-synuclein, bearing significant implications for the transition from a physiological to pathological state.
